IS TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD GOING TO MISS THE EUROS?

Biceps femurs anatomy.

After all the debate about why Gareth Southgate has selected 4 right backs to take to the postponed Euro 2021 tournament this summer, has his hand been forced to include one of the 7 left out?

Ollie Watkins, Jesse Lingard and James Ward-Prowse all had minutes on Wednesday night, could they replace Trent Alexander-Arnold in Southgate’s Euro squad?

It appears that as Trent cleared the ball with his left foot in the 87th minute he held his hamstring and subsequently left the field, leaving England with ten men for the remaining few minutes, England held on to beat Austria 1-0 with a first goal from Saka.

Hamstring injuries, no matter whether they are a high grade strain or not, will most likely rule TAA out of Euro 2021 this summer.

Fernando Torres - pulls hamstring in World Cup Final

 There are 3 hamstrings located in the back of your leg, with one of the hamstrings crossing your hip, it is stretched maximally when the hip is flexed and knee raised to chest, and the knee is extended or straight.

The most likely outcome is a tear to Trent’s biceps femoris muscle. The biceps femoris muscle is commonly damaged when sprinting and this will be  great risk for Trent as he returns to fitness. 

 These exercises here are great to bulletproof your hamstrings.
